Molitva
Ni oka da sklopim
Postelja prazna tera san
A život se topi
I nestaje brzo, k'o dlanom o dlan
K'o razum da gubim
Jer stvarnost i ne primec'ujem
Još uvek te ljubim
Još uvek ti slepo verujem
K'o luda, ne znam kuda
Ljubavi se nove bojim
A dane, žive rane
Više ne brojim
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je
Molitva, mesto rec(i samo ime tvoje
Nebo zna, kao ja
Koliko puta sam ponovila
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva
Al Bogu ne mogu lagati
Sve dok se molim
A lažem ako kažem
Da te ne volim
Molitva, kao žar na mojim usnama je
Molitva, mesto rec(i samo ime tvoje
Nebo zna, baš kao ja
Koliko puta sam ponovila
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
Da je ime tvoje moja molitva
Molitva, molitva
I nebo zna, baš kao ja
Koliko puta sam ponovila
To nebo zna, baš kao ja
Da je ime tvoje moja jedina molitva
Da je ime tvoje moja molitva
Prayer
I can't close my eyes
The empty bed chases sleep away
And my life is melting away
And it's disappearing quickly, in a split second
It seems I'm losing my mind
As I don't even notice reality
I still love you
I still trust you blindly
Like crazy, I don't know where to go
I'm afraid of a new love
And the days are like open wounds
I don't count them anymore
Prayer, like ardour on my lips
Prayer, just your name, instead of words
Heaven knows, just as I do
How many times I've repeated this
Heaven knows, just as I do
That your name is my only prayer
But I can't lie to God
As long as I pray
And I'd be lying if I said
That I don't love you
Prayer, like ardour on my lips
Prayer, just your name, instead of words
Heaven knows, just as I do
How many times I've repeated this
Heaven knows, just as I do
That your name is my prayer
Prayer, prayer
And heaven knows, just as I do
How many times I've repeated this
Heaven knows, just as I do
That your name is my only prayer
That your name is my prayer

Lyrics Serbian (with English translation)
"Molitva" (Serbian Cyrillic: ???????; English: "Prayer") was the winning song of the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, and was performed by the Serbian singer Marija Šerifovic'. It was Serbia's Eurovision debut as an independent nation, as the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro dissolved in June 2006.
Molitva was the first song containing no English language lyrics to win since 1998 ("Wild Dances" by Ruslana, the 2004 winner, had contained some English phrases). It was also the first time a ballad has won since televoting became the standard. The song is also notable for its stage presentation because it lacked dance routines, revealing or showy costumes, pyrotechnics and other gimmicks. The Eurovision Song Contest is often accused of concentrating on these things instead of the music itself. Many elements of "Molitva" contrasted with the previous winner, "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
Other versions
The English version is called "Destiny", the Russian version is called "Molitva" and the Finnish version "Rukoilen". The song has also been released as a dance remix and a remix named "Jovan Radomir mix" by Swedish TV-presenter Jovan Radomir. An instrumental version has also been released.[1]
Accusations of plagiarism
Two days after the final, some Albanians claimed that the song was plagiarised from Albanian artist Soni Malaj's song Ndarja.[2] This has however been denied by Macedonian composer Marjano Filipovski, author of Ndarja[3].

Serbia 'stole' winning song
SERBIA'S victory celebrations in this year's Eurovision Song Contest have been marred by claims the track is a COPY of another song and accusations of eastern European block voting.
Critics reckon Molitva, performed by Marija Šerifovic, is a rip-off of an old Albanian track.
One man who has posted a video comparing the two songs side by side online told me: "I knew this Albanian song long ago. It won a popular song competition called Top Fest that is organised there yearly.
"As soon as I heard Serbia's song I realised it was plagiarised.
"I am not aware if they did it intentionally or not but the similarity was obvious."
Meanwhile the awful SCOOCH - who finished second from last in the contest with just 19 points - and host TERRY WOGAN have claimed the vote was more about politics than singing.
Terry said: "Block voting detracts and I don't think we'll end it.
"But still, we only came second last. Unfortunately Ireland came last. And western European countries were left out in the cold, I'm afraid."
Scooch member David added: "We hoped this year would be different with no 'old pals' act in the voting.
"It was our best ever performance. We thought we'd really flown the flag for the UK but we were vote victims. It is a farce.
"The best song never seems to win."
Sorry David - you might be right about the voting tactics but your performance still scored 19 points too many.

Serbia 'stole' winning song
Serbia did just pinch the song, they stole Jamie Cullam too and pretended he was a hideous looking short girl. The glasses fooled no one.

Did Serbia Steal the Winning Song?
The article refers to "critics say Serbia stole the winning song"? Which "critics"? Albanians upset that they didn't win? I've listened to both songs a number of times ...

Авторот на “Ндарја“: Молитва не е иста песна
Композиторот на албанскиот хит “Ндарја“, Македонецот, Марјано Филиповски-Маки, вели дека овој хит има сличности во неколку компоненти со српската композиција, победничка на Евровизија, “Молитва“ но оти не станува збор за исти песни, односно за плагијат, пренесува тиранската телевизија Топ-канал, јави дописникот на Нетпрес.
Албанската пеачка Сони Малај, која песната “Ндарја“ (Разделба) ја пееше на тиранскиот фестивал “Топ фест 2006“ за истата телевизија, изјави дека “можам да речам дека мојата песна и онаа српската се две мелодии од ист жанр, со ист тоналитет и имаат слична музика“, додавајќи дека рефренот на српската мелодија е многу сличен на оној на “Разделба“.
Телевизијата пренесува и изјава на продуцентот на песната “Молитва“, Саша Мирковиќ, дека не добил никаква официјална реакција од централното жири на “Евровизија“.
Можете и сами да се уверите (барем ќе ја видите најубавата албанска пејачка):
